Bayou Brush by Gabrielle

Bayou Brush by Gabrielle 🌿Hi, I’m Gabrielle Thomas, Louisiana native, wife, mom, respiratory therapist, and artist.

Painting has been a therapeutic outlet for my anxiety and grew into Bayou Brush, where I create nature-inspired art filled with light, healing, and meaning.🌿

I loved bringing this custom piece to life as a Mother’s Day gift.
On this commission they wanted to capture the view their mom cherishes most, looking out her window, waiting for the crape myrtles to bloom.
Now she can enjoy them year round, no waiting required.

There are moments when the path grows quiet,
and something deeper begins to lead…
a gentle pull you can feel, but not explain.

It was waiting all along…
you just had to trust.

I’ll be bringing “Where the Light Leads” with me next Saturday at my artist pop-up at Bayou Booksellers 🤍

This one surprised us…
People in Hammond are still saying they didn’t know we exist.
A bookstore. A gift shop. A place to sit, study, meet, and belong.
📚 Thousands of books
🎁 Hundreds of gifts
💻 Free Wi-Fi + cozy study space
📖 Book clubs always welcome

If you’ve ever stepped inside, you know what this place is.

This piece was created for the 2026 Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival submission.
Although it didn’t get selected to take the cover… it was a joy to paint it and i’m grateful I did.

I created it to hold Ponchatoula as a feeling,
not a moment in time, but a memory that lingers.

A quiet reminder to keep showing up,
and to trust what is asking to be created no matter the outcome. 🌿✨

This one is especially close to my heart,
and i’m so happy it found it’s forever home.

I may release a small number of prints, thoughtfully,
if there is interest.
Update: I will release a limited number of prints in the next week or so. I will update with the pickup info this week. 😊

Well… I did a little brave thing !✨

Stepped out of my comfort zone and did my first live painting for the Twin Steeples “Showdown” fundraiser. 🤍

Thank you Louisiana Senior Advisors for sponsoring me and Kim Zabbia for being the best mentor and believing in me! Oh and grateful to have the kindest, most uplifting group of artists to share this experience with.. 🤍💛

🤍💛“The Current Beneath the Light” 🤍💛

For not everything that connects us can be seen.
some things move quietly…
beneath the surface,
holding, weaving, guiding.

The lilies resting above,
while something deeper
is gently connecting it all.

The Current Beneath the Light

🤍🌸Part of my upcoming “Reflections of Light” collection:

“The Garden Between Worlds”

Did you know the hexagon is the MOST efficent shape found in nature ( Honeycomb )?

The more I paint nature, the more I see how everything is connected…light, bloom, bees, and the patterns beneath it all.
What catches your attention MOST? 🌈

It means so much to have been asked to participate in this year’s Steeple Showdown at Twin Steeples. 🤍 As a nonprofit, the funds raised go right back into our local arts community. You can purchase tickets below if you’d like to support an amazing cause… I’d love to see you there 😊🌿✨

I love the way this little guy turned out… Should I make a few more like this ? ( Size is 8”x8” thick canvas)… Would be the perfect size for a gift, on bookshelf, or even hanging in the bathroom! This one is priced at $85…. Also, would look fabulous as a set of two or three similar ones to put above a bed.
